11 August 2007

Boring.......boring....boring.

I felt it many times. I should get out from this immediately. I decided to go out and my choice was enjoying the sunset at port. I had no idea, why I should go there. Was it a good idea? Was there something interesting to see?

How lucky I was... I got unusual view and I captured it. I did.

[06.39pm]

Do you know what was the boy doing?

What did he do with the bucket?

Was he playing only?

Or was there something behind the bucket?

Here is the answer:

See, another boy was behind the bucket.

Actually, I missed to get the first shot of them. While I was there, they were swimming together. The older boy teached his little brother to swim by used bucket. He sat his brother on the bucket. After several seconds, the bucket flip over, and the little one felt into the water. [See picture 1]

What an unusual learning! 

 Never give up!

This word referred to little boy.

After felt into water, he tried to get on bucket.

[06.40pm]

Horray..I am on bucket now!

I’m happy!

Hahhaha..the little boy was looking at me.

He realise someone captured his picture.

 

Say : cheeesseeeee!

This is the winning smile!

Poem: My Wish

Saturday nite, 11.13pm

While open my file, I find this poem from my friend,

I wish you’d stay forever and more
I wish for us there won’t be... a cure
I wish we’d have a second chance
To fall in Love from the first glance

I wish that Love would grow on trees
That fire burns all human disease
That fairy tales were not a dream
That happily ever after is not a scheme

I wish there’s hope to our despair
That we’d wake up and become aware
We’d praise the Lord for all the Good
For the bad and ugly, and what we could

It seems that wishing is overrated
While living is very understated
But I still wish cause it gives me hope
That tomorrow we will, climb the slope

Creating the footprints under the sun heat

Juang was busy creating the footprints under the sun heat

The picture was taken on May 14, 2011 by me. While I was working in Nias Island, Indonesia, sometimes I spent my time by enjoying the different atmosphere in suburb town, or even isolated villages also. 

Nothing to do here in this island except taking your camera, riding your vehicle, then enjoying the natural beaches, or seeing traditional houses, or finding ruin of houses effected by earthquake, or meeting and greet friendly communities. Be aware during your trip out from the town, as long as the road, you will be served many types of jaywalker such as cats, pigs, goats, dogs, or even some children. Next I will write about Nias Island as known one of surfer paradise destination.

On that day, after we went in and out some villages, our team decided to stop near the beach. The beach had been known as “Pantai Pasir Merah” or Red Sand Beach in Afulu, North Nias, Nias Island. It caused only for several kilometres the colour of sands was red. The team became happy to see the beach, quite, natural, and had heavy waves. We decided to take some pictures even the sun light burned our skins. But we did not care, we only knew that it was time to memorise into picture as much as. 

When the others were busy captures from several views, I did not miss to take it also. The sun was right above my head appropriately, I was still busy to capture photos of Juang, my friend. He walked ahead then backward by keeping attention on footprint which he was left on sands.  I love to the footprint that he was made. Absolutely I took picture of him and I was thinking what kind of the pattern he want to leave on sands. 
Would it  be curve, round, triangle, square? Or  it would be a shape of heart?
Or he just much the footprints up? I did not know.

I just love the atmosphere at the moment.
I just love the way sun smiles at the moment.
I just love the blue sky at the moment.
I just love the smooth sands at the moment.
I just love that all combinations were melted in one image titled
"Creating the footprints under the sun heat"
